A creamy combination of vodka-laced coffee and chocolate. (The optional egg white adds body but there's no need to dry shake.)

Confused by the use of dry shaking here. Should there be egg white in the list of ingredients? Or does dry shaking also benefit cocktails containing cream? Thanks.

The recipe should have included egg white as the last ingredient. It's optional but a better cocktail with it. (Only needs half the usual amount of egg white.) Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
